Why would Shelley -- a healthy, talented young surgeon with a good marriage -- take her own life? It is a question that haunts Ev; one that is leading her into the hidden corners of the medical world toward terrifying secrets that reside in the darkest recesses of the human heart. And the next life she must fight to save will be her own.
